Article II — Off-Street Parking Requirements

If after calculating the number of required off-street parking spaces a quotient is obtained containing a fraction of one-half or more, an additional space shall be required; if such fraction is less than one-half it may be disregarded. When the parking requirement is based on number of employees, the number of spaces shall be based on the number of working persons typically engaging in the specified activity on the lot during the largest shift of the peak season. When the requirement is based on number of doctors, the number of spaces shall be based on the number of such doctors typically engaging in the activity on the lot during the peak daily period. When the requirement is based on number of seats, each twenty (20) inches of pews or similar facilities shall be counted as one seat.
